star wars filming last jedi on skellig michael

The latest Star Wars movie trailer has been released with Skellig Michael again featuring well.

The movie is set for release on December 15th 2017, hopefully this will bring a welcome boost in tourism for 2018

And the additon to the  island of a new creature… The Porg

Porgs were only invented to cover up the actual adorable creatures that turned out to be a huge pain in the ass for writer/director Rian Johnson. Skellig Michael, the Irish Island on which the Luke Skywalker scenes were shot, is a wildlife preserve that pays home to “hundreds” of puffins—squat little birds that bear a not-inconsiderable resemblance to Porgs. And by law, Star Wars: The Last Jedi was not permitted to mess with the puffins.
